Framework

Conference curators Jane Amidon and Charles Birnbaum will provide an overview and present the structure for the day.

Friday’s program will consist of three panels, each with three panelists who will each give thirty-minute written presentations in their subject area. Panelists have been invited to speak about particular topics because of potential resonances between their work and the first generation of modernists. Importantly, the presentations are not intended to be an overview of the panelist’s work, but instead, a well considered response to a specific topic. It is expected that panelists will use examples from their own practice to substantiate their points; inclusion of specific precedents or influences from first-wave modernism is encouraged.
